The clip actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Still, I would appreciate it if more black folk were in that photo that wasn't on that old school thug shyt or on that materialism bullshyt.

I know one nurse in my hospital that commutes from around Newburgh to NYC almost everyday by car. That's like 60 miles one way.

She said her house is cheap tho.

My n1gga does something similar; he moved to the Poconos, and he commutes via bus. He works for Transit and his hours are like 5:00 to 2:00 or something like that. So he's never really in "rush hour". He leaves his crib a little before 4, and he's never really in the thick of a bad commute.

watch out for cops on I-80 in NJ around Patterson when commuting to/from poconos, the speed limit drops to 55mph and they get people all the time

Yea I knew a few building engineers who did that. If they had to work a double they would just find a place to sleep in their building. I couldnt

Now that is just too much. :dwillhuh:

Yeah its crazy.. Like i said above my bro in laws brothers do it... They do construction so if they work a double like dude said theyd be leaving about 10-11. Makes no sense to travel back almost 2 hrs to get back up in another 3 hrs to come back to the same place.

They have nice houses in the Poconos tho.. I couldn't live out there tho

Might as well live down south. Doesn't make sense when you spend all the time working at construction and sleeping.

I see it like this... if u really love it that much... if u leave u will come back

I have no desire to go back

Lot of brehs stay cause theyre scared of the unknown. As soon as I got a taste of normal life I wanted out

Damn shame. How can you do that commute for 30+ years and not lose your sanity?
